Anyone here interested in trading stocks or the stock market? I'm just starting a venture with my friend who has already been successful and it seems really interesting. Right now I'm on ameritrade, anyone else do this?

Well thanks for that, but I got 20 free trades from ameritrade so I'm still using those. It's only 9 bucks a trade anyway, not a big deal.

I was a finance major and I would consider investing my second favorite hobby next to poker.Tip of the day: Start investing in international markets/companies. (India)




I might start updating this again.

I trade bonds for a living, so yeah...you could say I'm interested in markets.Indices look like they want to break out. I'm still bearish on the economy, so I'm not loading up on stocks or anything...

Much of the current stock bounce is being attributed to speculation that the Fed is close to pausing on interest rate hikes, but I'd be careful with that. Rates are still historically low, Bernanke is going to want to show he's an inflation hawk (like Greeny was) and come summer, energy prices will be on Neptune once again...

I once invested in WWE. Made a 26% return in just over a month. XFL ruled (well for my bank account)
Nothing to read here. Move along.

I took a Personal Investing class while I was going for my Associates, the textbook was fascinating and very informative. I'm sure there's countless books available on investing, not really sure what a good starting point would be. If your local Community College offers an investing class, buy the book. Better yet, take the class.

Here's what all the "investing" books say:"Buy and hold."Buy one of these books if you want to get a little bit more serious about trading:http://www.amazon.co...glance&n=283155orhttp://www.amazon.co...glance&n=283155You should be able to invest with a buy and hold mentality but have a much better feel for entry and exit points.

WSJ is an excellent paper all around. Most professionals consider Barron's to be the most informative mainstream publication on investing.

Yeah, barrons is good too, but I haven't read it or made any effort to since I graduated. I majored in freakin econ and I haven't followed the market in 3 years. How ridiculous is that?

I read this book a long time ago but it's still one of the best IMHO - each chapter deals with a market wizard and the author's interview with that trader.http://www.amazon.co...5Fencoding=UTF8

I don't know much about investing....But Clark Howard says buy index funds and just sit on them, and you can't miss. And keep re-investing.Thoughts?
Always bet like you've got a pair.
